    Is the a roof that I have a chance of finding to use to fill my roof? Not sure how many real old roof I can find locally. OR should I buy a aftermarket piece?

  3. Are you planning on filling the top or padding it once you have filled it? HRP

  8. 3 options 1 make one yourself. 2 pay someone to make one, 3 make templates of roof contour and go to junkyard.

    I've used a Corvair coupe top in years past but they're a little hard to find. Recently I've used a insert from Walden on my 3 window and delivery and they were worth the money.
     
  10. You know I didn't even think about Walden,,good product. HRP

    as HRP stated 65 -66 Mustang coupe roofs fit very well .
     
  12. Ive used Maverick or Comet turned sideways, and they woork very well. I have one now out of a 84 85 chrysler labaron that looks like it will work as well as the Mavericks.
     
  13. For my 5 window we used a 64 falcon roof skin worked perfect.
     
  14. This topic is beat to death just search on here.

    Good lord, corvair, mustang, maverick, camaro

    Anything that will fill the space needed would work.
